News and Commentary

Overview

This live introduction and promotion presents a new online, interactive learning program framed as “coming out of Babylon” (drawing from Revelation). The speakers describe the program as a replacement for what they call public-school “demonic” or misleading doctrine—especially in science, earth history/cosmology, and textbooks.

1) “Babylon” as a worldwide education system

  • The presenters argue that “Babylon” refers to a global system of control, not merely an ancient location.
  • They claim modern schooling is scripted and tightly governed by authorities and approved textbooks that embed what they consider false doctrine in areas such as:
    • history
    • science
  • They trace influence to German/Babylonian archaeology/display/history and claim textbook publishers (they specifically mention McGraw-Hill) helped shape curricula worldwide, including earth science and life science.
  • Their key idea: students are taught facts that conflict with their biblical worldview, so parents must help children build a different foundation.

2) Program purpose: foundational education centered on Genesis and biblical authority

  • The program is presented as a structured, Bible-based alternative:
    • Creation Standard (with a separate Foundation Standard run by a brother)
  • They state that classes begin in Genesis repeatedly to build what they call a “strong foundation.”
  • The program is positioned as preparation to help children resist later exposure to mainstream claims they reject, including:
    • evolution
    • the Big Bang
    • other widely taught scientific conclusions

3) Courses offered and how they’re organized

They describe multiple course tracks (different ages and time spans), generally spanning about 10 months per year, with some courses structured as two semesters.

Science / creation-focused classes (Creation Standard)

  • Earth science / “Earth Foundation” (recommended ages 7+)

    • Uses astronomy, experiments, and observations to argue the world aligns with a biblical account
    • Mentions a “firmament / journey to the firmament” approach in the curriculum
  • “Firmamental Breakdown” / physical science component (roughly 8th grade and up or high school and up)

    • Covers physical/science topics through the program’s biblical cosmology lens
    • Includes spiritual themes they claim connect to institutions like NASA
  • Life science — “Intro to Intelligent Design” (roughly ages 9–16)

    • Positioned as preparation for high school biology
    • Focuses on intelligent design and is framed as rebuttal to evolution claims
  • High-school-level “Biological Design”

    • Presented as an advanced replacement for traditional high school/college biology
    • Includes deeper treatment of what they oppose, including:
      • evolution
      • dinosaurs (as they define them)
      • fossils
      • age-of-earth claims they reject
  • “New World History” (two semesters)

    • World history built around a biblical timeline
    • The curriculum emphasizes parallels/overlays (e.g., north/south nations and parallel developments)

Biblical history classes (Michael’s track)

  • A two-part biblical history series:
    • Part 1 is required as a foundation for Part 2
  • The focus includes:
    • investigating prophecy
    • identifying “parallels”
    • connecting biblical stories (they give Joseph/Daniel-style examples) to Messiah and gospel themes
  • They describe student-led creativity and worship output, such as:
    • students making worship songs
    • coordination over Zoom

Math classes (Foundation Standard)

  • Foundational Math (middle grades; pre-algebra toward 8th grade)
  • Foundational Algebra (aligned with high school algebra standards, with a “biblical twist”)
  • They claim these help students who struggle with math and integrate biblical examples.

4) How they claim the curriculum confronts mainstream science

  • They repeatedly stress that evolution/Big Bang claims are “built into” mainstream materials.
  • Their program counters with what they call creation proofs and alternative explanations.
  • They frame “intelligent design” language as a strategy that can be used in environments where they must not openly refuse mainstream curricula—especially in public school teaching scenarios mentioned by the speakers.

5) Learning experience: live, recorded, interactive games, and workbooks

  • The program is remote/online with live sessions scheduled across multiple time slots for different time zones.
  • Classes begin August 17, including:
    • an orientation week first (no live lecture initially)
    • live lectures beginning the following week
  • Lectures are recorded for catch-up.
  • Components include:
    • weekly lessons
    • slides/presentations
    • review games (competitive Q&A)
    • workbook materials
      • described as optional by some
      • said to help organize assignments and reduce printing/computer searching
  • They discuss flexible completion:
    • different ages may complete different subsets of workbook tasks
    • sharing books may be possible depending on needs

6) Community/fellowship and student empowerment

  • A major theme is that children feel less isolated than in mainstream schooling because peers share the same biblical/cosmology worldview.
  • They claim students begin “hosting their own classes” and teaching each other by the end of the program year.
  • Parents are invited to attend at the end (and sometimes during live sessions).
  • They highlight family participation, including older students/adults joining higher-level classes.

7) Practical access: registration, costs, and financial help

  • Registration is at creationstandard.com.
  • They recommend ordering workbooks early; shipping is described as taking about two weeks.
  • A financial assistance option is available on the registration form, but:
    • they note code delivery may be delayed for those cases
    • those situations are handled manually
  • They encourage emailing for help with registration/workbooks and discuss support/sponsorship for families in need.

8) Spiritual framing and urgency

  • The effort is presented as spiritual preparation for end-times and deception:
    • emphasis on prayer
    • unity
    • “faithful work”
  • They warn that mainstream indoctrination distracts people from readiness, especially what they describe as a “false foundation” about earth/science.
  • They describe the program as helping secure an “eternal foundation” for children.
